*** My Fave!! ***
I was enjoying my Lamy Joy with it's 1.1 nib so much at my desk, but I wanted a
shorter body style that would be easier to carry with me. The clear Lamy Vista
is so cool looking and easier to carry, but I don't want a plain fountain pen
nib. So I bought this 1.1 nib, plus a new Vista- Viola! My perfect,
don't-go-anywhere-without-it pen! The nib that comes on your Lamy will slide off
(with some firm persuasion), and this nib will slide right up in place. I bought
a 1.9 as well, for lettering some large projects. The 1.1 makes your everyday
handwriting look so great, and you can write fast with it. My favorite ink is
Noodlers bulletproof Polar Blue. I was just at a meeting where we all submitted
short written reports. The moderator actually held up my paper and said to the
group 'Look at this great handwriting!' I should have said, 'It's not me- it's
the pen!' How funny, because I had just created my perfect pen with this nib! :)

I just recieved my Lamy Joy 1.1, and I've been writing with it all day! I love
that it comes with a converter- I filled it with Noodlers Polar Blue and it's
gliding as smooth as silk across the paper. It doesn't have a sharp calligraphy
effect, maybe because of the small nib, but it makes my hand writing look
fabulous. I can write fairly fast, with a nice bold line. This pen has flat
edges for your thumb and forefinger, almost like a triangle, and it's really
comfortable to hold. I don't like it with the cap posted because it makes it too
heavy for my liking. Without the cap, it's light as a feather. Love the red clip
on the black body. This is already a favorite! :)
